Before Demi Lovato decided to leave "The X Factor," before "The X Factor" franchise left British shores, even before "American Idol" broadcast its first Brian Dunkleman-cohosted episode, there was O-Town: the 2000 winners of the very first season of "Making The Band." (Sans Diddy, who at the time was known as Puffaluffagus, FYI.)

Now, we'll forgive you if you don't remember these guys. TBQH, they kinda floated around at the fourth or fifth circle of boyband-dom. You had *NSYNC and Backstreet Boys dueling for No. 1 and No. 2, 98 Degrees clocked in at a solid third-tier, LFO at fourth, O-Town at No. 5, and 2gether was in sixth place -- IF WE'RE BEING GENEROUS.

Because even straight men have to give it up for those cutout-coordinated Tina Knowles originals. Also, Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams are the babeliest trio of babes who ever babed. #FACT

Check out the rest of our O-Town breakdown, and watch the "Liquid Dreams" video after the jump.

As in Jennifer Lopez. (Honorable mention: Jennifer Love Hewitt.) I mean, 2000 was the year that J-Lo wore that iconic green Versace gown to the Grammys. FYI, said gown has its own Wikipedia page -- and you don't.
